Guidance

Based on social model principles, recovery residence staff are typically promoted from within the community because advances in personal recovery are rewarded with greater responsibility. This is not always an option or the best option. Regardless, recovery residence providers must ensure that staff understand social model recovery and how to apply it in their role. Without this foundation, staff can undermine the fidelity of the recovery residence and the culture of the community. This is often seen when staff with a clinical background or clinical aspirations steer the recovery residence towards a treatment model. The social model and clinical model can be integrated, but this requires substantial role clarity and appropriate supervision.

Evaluation
